This reminds me of my husband! Dated ALL through college … we were that HBCU couple on our campus. Everyone was rooting for us… but we were known as us as a couple; not us as individuals. We were very codependent and it was unhealthy in some ways. We LOVED each other , but needed to grow separately… Broke up 3 days after graduation…. went our own ways for about 6 months Now we are married… We really needed that time apart to discover who we were because we were so ENGULFED in each-other. Also spending time with other people for less than 7 months showed us we didn’t want anyone but each other. It took time. We hurt each other in the process. Therapy, prayer and FORGIVENESS played a major part. But now, we are better than ever. God is amazing. What He brings together, no man can tear apart. If it’s God ordained, it’ll happen. Thank y’all for sharing!

Y’all really encouraged me. I broke up with my gf a few months back because I wasn’t in a healthy place where I could give her the best version of me anymore. The thing is God showed me that she was my wife before we even met (crazy right?) and I don’t see a future for myself with anyone but her. We went through ups, downs, had some issues (some similar to your situation and a few different) but I still believe we’re God ordained. There’s days I wonder if I am wrong about it but this was confirmation to just keep trusting God and let things continue to play out. Thanks for this video. God bless.

Hey Jess, I know it's been a year since you posted this, but I just wanted to say that your testimony, along with other similar marriage testimonies, have been used by God to help me gain closure over a relationship that didn't work out. There were quite a few similarities between your story, the other testimonies, and mine, and I resonated with many points you made. Though I'm not taking this all as a sign that it'll work out the same with this person and I (that feels impossible), I do feel like God used these stories to tell me, "Yes, I CAN do the impossible. But when I choose not to, it is for a good reason that you cannot see right now." So many doubts about whether God could or would even want do in my life had been cleared up with a "yes, He could" with your story, along with the others. I have faith now, that if God really wanted to, He could bring me and that person back together. But I also rejoice knowing that His plans are good, whether that happens or not. Thank you for sharing your story. It's crazy how opening up can impact others.

Jonathan looks so much like my nephew Stephan I'm amazed. My take away from this video is the importance of honest, open communication in a relationship. He didn't just tell you what you wanted to hear Jess. In return you didn't just sit silently hoping for the best. You let him know how you felt and you acted accordingly. Taking the time for him to sort out what he wanted and how he felt about you was key. By not acting ugly out of anger, Jess you left the door open for him to come back to you with a certainty that wasn't there before. The lesson: be friends first. Date to get to know the person. Put the time in. Communicate openly and honestly. And don't take no crap, lol. Be willing to walk away and let go without attacking the other person. Well done you guys. TFS.

This is an awesome story. Because God wanted you both to make sure and know that you have to depend on him to make it work not on each other. And that is the reason why he had to separate you both so that you both can go to him to strengthen your relationship with him individually and so you know that he will remain the center of your relationship with each other. So it's what he was putting in you that is going to make your relationship together, last. To God be the glory.

***I say this in love: I wouldn't let a 21 year old man befriend my 15 year old teen daughter and I would not let a 21 year old woman befriend my teen son either.*** He deserves the same protection. Please let the teens at least be 18 years old before you begin any type of friendship. As a teenager, they can easily have a crush and go through unnecessary emotional pain so young, among other developmental issues. Let them at least get to 18 before they have access to calling and speaking with you IF you are a grown adult. I had to say this...I understand that there was nothing physical but this isn't healthy in my professional opinion to befriend a teenager, especially one that has a crush on you.

I smiled while watching this, it amazes me how God writes everyone's love story differently. And yes cancelling a date after a dream is sooooo real.

And throughout the rest of your guys relationship never forget that this was built on friendship. At the end of the day where there is no choice, there is no love.....you both will always, ALWAYS have to choose each other [this is for when you guys come up on other rough times in your marriage of course. Forget all the feelings, it will always come down to both your choices]. Lovely video Jess......#Jessathon #Jonica 😂 waaii....a joke.

Thank you for sharing😭 there is such a huge message within this story and all points towards GOD. How he will never leave you. And he wants you to love him more than the one he sent to you. He is so amazing may God be the Glory. I love the honesty with you both it really helps those of us fighting a similar battle. The battle is not with flesh and blood but spiritual. ❤🙏🏽

Yesss I agree, Jonathan is right about God letting us have something that he knows is not going to work out sometimes to help us as well get prepared for what is really in store. I'm experiencing that right now. So glad that I am blessed to be on your Channel today.... talk about Divine appointment and to think I wasn't going to watch this video. Glad I did.

Wow I just love your love and testimony. I’m 5 years older than my husband. I was engaged to another guy (a Pastor son) I had a dream 6 month before my wedding that I married another guy. I was like I’m marrying the wrong guy!!! Everyone thought I was crazy but I gave back to ring and called off the wedding. I was 25. A year and a half later I met my husband!!! I was so in shock this guy in my dream was 5 years younger than me. Well 30 years later and 3 adult children now I am so very thankful to Adonai for showing me His Divine Will for my life. May God Bless you guys always and you are such a beautiful couple! Therapy is good I got it to forgive myself for hurting that guy but he is happy now and life is soooo good🙌🏼

Man at 34:00 when he explains how he loved her, but there was a blockage that he couldn’t explain…and 38:20 and 38:40 is speaking to me. I feel so hopeless right now. But this video reassures me that its normal for couples to have their times of separation, because Im freaking out a bit. Finally…42:48 is important. Sometimes the breakup is necessary.

First of all, I love you Jess and you’re my real life bff and you can’t tell me anything different… mmkay?! Second, I appreciate y’all for keeping it real. You hear so many people talking about God and relationships… but not being transparent. It has really helped me know that we can make it through the difficult moments. Y’all have such a sweet story and I’m glad that you have both grown while you were apart… so you can grow together.

Jess! When i tell you i have been avoiding this video from the day you uploaded it (i was afraid of this happening to me). And then last night my boyfriend of 2 years and 7 months. And it the reasons for our break up is almost identical to yours. And he said the exact same thing that Jonathan said to you about not being sure about marrying you! Right down to me also asking him if he can see himself marrying me and he said he did not know and us both breaking down. I have been a sobbing mess since. And i kept getting the strong feeling to watch this video, again i was dodging the feeling like neo is the shooting scene of the metrics lol. I will say its made me laugh but more importantly its encouraged me and blessed me. I don't know if we will get back together, but I'm trusting God to see us through regardless. Thank you so much for sharing.❤
